Nah, I WANTS DAUNTLESS! I honestly don't remember what the enforcer is.

[quote]With this beta up - just a question did the boys developing mods for other platforms eg hw / hw2 join on as some of their stuff looked good [/quote] Nay, they didn't to the best of my knowledge. [quote]For the orcas, would there be a way for the ship to have a max assault craft for one type? You could make it Max three orcas for Explorer (wardens for custodian) Max 2 for merchant ect. and the rest can be fighter and bomber squads. Don't even know if this is possbile, ju

[quote]As for bugs, I noticed only two; the repair station doesn't function and fighters, when lost, are not re-produced by the carrier in question ever. The unit seems to believe the squadron is still at 100% despite being very dead.[/quote] Got the repair station, it needed a research it didn't look like it needed, which is now added, but I'll take a look at the carriers to see what's up with them. When that happens, could you do me a favor and look at the empire tree to see if the
that is just utter win, I just can't express it any other way. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Now all you need is a bump on the score and you're good
Sins Forums
Yeah, that's one problem and the other is that the ships that carry them have orcas and AC, so we can't really do that.

[quote] what you could do is give it a pasive ability that slows the phase speed by 500% or somthing.(to simulate STL drives) this makes it the that they can still make intersteler trave but it takes some time [/quote] The thing about it is that we want to make orcas carryable by tau caps, it's a really tricky effext to do right, because they shouldn't be able to jump. Like only a ton of chainable effects could make it work, and it'll be really annoying.

Only works on 1.1, 1.1 added some new data fields. The thing that might be a problem with that software is that it may or may not be able to open the right stuff, and if you're messing with potentially crippled software, you might as well get a demo of something that's a known quantity.

don't think it's 3d max, so you're probably right.
Sins Forums
Glad to hear it, first up is going to be nova cannons for the ships that need it (looking for an effect, would it throw you all off too much if I used a capital ship's death effect?) and planets (mostly for random maps, but I'll include fluffier versions of the stock planets with a bit more visual variety (I'll mix in the sins plus textures))
Sins Forums
What happens to eldar who die... oh, that involves warp storms... Being on a planet taken over by cultists... oh, that involves warp storms... A black crusade... oh, that involves warp storms... Yep, anything is now officially better than warp storms.
Sins Forums
Yes he does, but you must admit it's better than warp storms.
Sins Forums
Hmm, that'd be on sins probably for the scripting, I don't think I can change that, but until we can see about making torps an ability, I'll make them have the same range in the next version.
Sins Forums
[quote]How are you going to implement the Tau escorts who doesn't have warp capabilities? like the warden and orca.[/quote] No idea as of now, an ability on the ships might work. Give the ships the ability to spawn the orcas for cost (added in 1.1), and give the orcas the ability to dock and restore the % of hp they have left. Should work okay, but I'm not sure.

Good to hear, any help is welcome. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I use notepad++ for the entities and meshs, it's a really good text file editor, you can clone windows to other views and lots of other fun stuff that really helps out, and I use gimp whenever I need to play with textures (you'll need a plugin to work with .dds files like most of the ones in sins), but considering that I'm already able to deal with any of that, if yo

[quote]There are two ways to make the manta into the definative bomber, that readily springs to mind[/quote] There's one other key thing about the manta that makes it awesome. It'll be a one bomber squad (the chaos one will too, but that has a bland effect) with an awesome set of firing effects. 2 heavy railguns and 6 ion cannons will make for quite the light show and that range will let them hit before they fly into flak range, so that'll let them shoot even if they get killed by the

That's what I hear from prezo too, that's a shame, the FW tau are really short on firepower and durability. Forces them into ordnance spam a bit much in my eyes, but whatever. Thanks for going to the effort of checking though.

[quote]They don't fire their broad sides at all unless you micro it for them to move their behinds (which maybe too micro?)[/quote] They do if you play them the way I do! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I generally use a move order instead of an attack order, works better. My general rule of thumb is place your ships in the front 2/3ds of the enemy fleet, and hit the back with the torps, and if you use them like that, they will fire everything. I do want to make the formations a bit looser
Sins Forums
Yeah, but it's such a nice big explosion.... [e digicons]:smitten:[/e] I couldn't resist.... And yeah, it's actually a good thing that they don't broadside. Their torpedoes' expected damage is almost the same as that of the broadsides, and if they go in straight, then they can wiggle to fire all their weapons in a fast salvo. Also, when they go in, they're in the best aspect to do the most damage they can. The battlecruisers and battleships have their dorsals locked forward, so th
Sins Forums
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, it was an idea I got for the eldar originally, and I think it'd work well for the escorts. One thing to remember is that escorts are not frigates. They're a lot more maneuverable and have disproportionate firepower, but are very fragile. The best way to use them (I think) is a series of slashing attacks on the enemies' rear, getting out of range before they can respond.

[quote]i got some script of this forum, everyone is hating and wanting the first one but i cant find a file link to download the first version sadly....[/quote] I don't hate, I just want. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] That'd be awesome if you could get us even a very very simple texture. By very I mean make the prows white and the shade of team color not too heavily affected by the lighting so it looks darkish even when lit brightly and still has color when not lit so brightly.

Hmmm... that's very odd. If you want to try texturing, we'd be happy to set you up with on of the .objs, just ask in our modcraft forum . I have no idea why it wouldn't import our meshs, try the overlord, because a lot of them have minor errors that don't effect gameplay but may confuse 3ds.
